Fill Dirt in Tabiona, UT

In small Utah towns like Tabiona, fill-dirt typically ranges from about $12 to $35 per ton delivered, depending on local supply, truck distance, and season. Prices can be higher for remote deliveries, small orders under our 3-ton minimum, or if you request next-day delivery or special handling. Check your zip code on our site for an exact quote and any delivery fees.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers that serve Duchesne County and surrounding areas. Because Tabiona is rural, availability varies by season and haul distance; use our site to check your zip code and scheduled delivery dates, and call our team if you need help with access or site directions.

Convert area and depth to cubic yards: square feet × depth (feet) ÷ 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical fill-dirt. Examples: a 20'x20' garage pad at 6u0022 needs ≈7.4 yd3 or roughly 9–11 tons; a 1,000 sq ft area at 6u0022 needs ≈18.5 yd3 or about 22–26 tons. Use our online calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a quick estimate.

No. Fill-dirt generally contains finer particles and holds moisture, so it does not perform as well as crusher run or road base for structural support or drainage in freeze-thaw climates. For driveways, pads, and roads in high-elevation Utah, we recommend a granular base (crusher run or road base) under any fill-dirt or top layer to improve compaction and resist frost heave.

Fill-dirt alone is not the best choice for frost heave prevention because it can retain water and freeze. For improving drainage and reducing frost heave, use well-draining granular material, good site grading, and proper subgrade compaction; if you need fill-dirt for elevation, place it over a granular layer and slope it to shed water away from structures.

For structural or near-structure use, compact fill-dirt in 4–6u0022 lifts using a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger jobs until it reaches the specified relative compaction (ask your engineer or local code). Homeowners can rent a plate compactor or walk-behind roller from area rental stores, but for foundations or retaining walls, hire a contractor to ensure proper moisture control and testing.

A road surfaced with fill-dirt will typically need regrading and fresh material every 1–3 years in mountain and freeze-thaw conditions like Tabiona, depending on traffic, drainage, and snowmelt. Roads last much longer if you add a granular surface layer, install drainage ditches, and schedule seasonal grading after spring runoff.

Permit rules vary by project and location, but large imports of fill may require permits or notifications for erosion control, septic setbacks, floodplain rules, or grading under Duchesne County regulations. Before ordering significant volumes, contact Duchesne County Planning and Zoning or your local building department to confirm any permitting, and note any HOA rules on your property.

Spread fill-dirt in thin lifts (4–6u0022) and compact each lift, working from the bottom up to reduce slippage. Use benching or terracing on steep slopes, install erosion control (silt fences or seeding), avoid placing heavy equipment too close to edges, and consider geotextile fabric or retaining walls where needed to stabilize the slope.

Confirm truck access (width, overhead lines, and gate clearance), staging area for the load, and if you want tailgate spreading (drivers may provide it at their discretion). Also calculate tons needed, check for any local permits, choose your preferred delivery date at checkout, and call Hello Gravel if you have tight access or special instructions.

Customers often ask about exact ton needs, truck access on rural roads, material quality (fines vs coarse), and frost-related settling. Avoid surprises by measuring carefully, ordering a little extra for compaction and settling, confirming access and delivery instructions, and requesting help from our team if you need clarification on material suitability.
